Folk Songs from the British Isles

In four contrasting traditional themes, Douglas Wagner has captured the essence in his Folk Songs from the British Isles. Including A-Rovin', Early One Morning, Barbara Allen and The Lincolnshire Poacher, the variety of these cherished melodies flow from the fanfare-like introduction to emotionally charged-lilting charm. Solidly scored for contemporary concert band in a most musical fashion, this is sure to be a frequent selection for contest, festival, and band concerts. (4:00)

Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians - Robert W. Smith

Folklore for Band - Jim Andy Caudill

First published in 1964, this dynamic work endures as a classic for young concert bands. Heavily influenced by the modal folk idiom found in early Welch and British band works, this new edition features a full score and is dedicated by the composer to the memory of Dr. Frederick Fennell. Dur: 5:35 (Includes full performance CD)

Folksong Suite - Antal Farkas

This reworked edition of the Folksong Suite by Antal Farkas will help to widen the repertoire of youth ensembles and adult amateur orchestras. The composer's son, Tams Farkas has supplemented the score of the work, adding symphonic wind ensemble parts, and has in a number of places reworked it slightly in accordance with present-day requirements. 'I recommend this work to any orchestra active anywhere in the world. The piece provides an enjoyable experience, helps in correcting faulty intonation, in interpreting various musical styles, in fostering a homogeneous sound, in developing technique and ensemble playing, and it is certain of a favourable response from audiences. I hope every musician will find pleasure in it!' (Jzsef Csikota, president of the East European section of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles.)

Follow Me - J. Govaere

The Belgian composer Jaak Govaere (1954) is a member of the Royal Belgian Air Force Band and of several famous dance and jazz bands. 'Follow me', arranged by Gh. Slingeneyer, guitarist of the former BRT variety orchestra, starts with a soft jazz theme, which is suddenly transformed. The composer has imagined an aeroplane that has just landed and is following the pilot car until rhythm and dance (of a thrilling samba) interrupt the quiet atmosphere.
